Suspect in attempted homicide charged in another Erie assault

An Erie man facing trial in July on charges of shooting a man in December is now accused of beating a woman with a gun in November.

Kendall C. Foster, 41, remains in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 bond today after he was arraigned Friday by Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment, possessing instruments of crime and carrying a firearm without a license.

Police accuse Foster of hitting a woman in the head and face with a gun numerous times in the 200 block of West 10th Street on Nov. 5 at about 10:30 a.m., according to the criminal complaint filed by Erie police Detective Sgt. Dominic DiLullo.

Police said the woman identified Foster as her attacker from a photo of him that was shown by the news media in another criminal case involving Foster.

Foster, who is also known as Kendell C. Foster, faces trial in July on attempted homicide and other charges on allegations he shot a man in a Parade Street apartment on Dec. 20. Foster is being held in jail on $100,000 bond in that case.
